If everyone on the planet used the same amount of resources as an average American, what percent of the Earth would

Biology
1 answer:
matrenka [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

D. 200%

Explanation:

While Americans constitute the 5% of the world population, they use around the 24% of the world's energy.

Then, if the 100% of the population were like the Americans, we have:

5%*x = 100%

x = 100%/5% = 20

the whole population is 20 times the population of the US, then the total energy used is 20 times the energy used in the US.

Then the energy that the 100% of the population would use is equal to:

20*24% = 480%

So we actually would need like 5 Earths.

The option is 200%

Why does diuron cause coral to bleach
erica [24]

Simple answer:

When corals are stressed by changes in conditions such as temperature, light, or nutrients, they expel the symbiotic algae living in their tissues, causing them to turn completely white. Warmer water temperatures can result in coral bleaching. ... This is called coral bleaching. When a coral bleaches, it is not dead.

More in depth explanation:

Exposure to higher (100 and 1000 µg l-1) diuron concentrations for 96 h caused a reduction in ΔF/Fm¹, the ratio variable to maximal fluorescence (Fv/Fm), a significant loss of symbiotic dinoflagellates and pronounced tissue retraction, causing the corals to pale or bleach.

Hope this helped :)
